(Get the code!)
I changed my UID to 501, long while back, to match the one on my Mac, so that nfs works smoothly.
This was not a big issue before Karmic. After changing my UID, I would not see my username in 'Users and Groups', but I never used it regularly anyway. I wish I knew the /etc/login.defs trick before.
I noticed it in Karmic because the default GDM/Greeter had a face browser when I ran it from the LiveCD, but it was absent when I installed it on my computer. To me, it is an inconvenience. I would like to have the Face Browser.
